Duncan Siemens will make his playoff debut Saturday afternoon against the Nashville Predators.

Siemens will be replacing Samuel Girard (upper body) in the lineup. Siemens is a former 11th overall pick back in 2011 but appears to be heading into bust territory. He picked up two points in 16 games this season with the Avalanche. Vladislav Kamenev, Anton Lindholm, Dominic Toninato, Mark Alt, Nail Yakupov will be the scratches. Sat, Apr 14, 2018 03:04:00 PM

Sean Monahan picked up a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-2 road victory against the Edmonton Oilers.

Monahan also added an assist while taking a game-high seven shots on goal across his 20:16 of ice time over 24 shifts. The 24-year-old pivot from suburban Toronto is easily enjoying his most productive season, as he is up to 27 goals with 61 points and a plus-13 rating through 50 games. His 11 power-play goals are already a career best, and he is just three points short of matching his previous high in points. The Flames host the Hurricanes on Tuesday night.

The center picked up his 300th career point in the contest as he has 11 goals and 27 points this season with a tremendous plus-25 in 46 games after going minus-21 last season. He has 119 career goals and 181 assists in his 10-plus year career with Calgary.

This was the first goal of the season for the Flames second power play unit as the top unit of Johnny Gaudreau, Elias Lindholm, Sean Monahan, Mark Giordano and Matthew Tkachuk had combined for the first 12 goals with the man-advantage. Ryan doubled his goal total to two and has four points in 19 games. He has no fantasy value.

It was the seventh shorthanded point of the season for Jankowski who now leads the NHL in shorthanded points. The former first round pick in 2012 has found his niche and is providing the Flames with solid play. He has six goals and 17 points in 39 games this season.

Johnny Gaudreau scored once and added an assist to extend his point streak to 11 straight games.

Gaudreau is having a career season with 29 goals and 73 points in 50 games and he has been especially hot of late with 10 goals and 23 points in the 11-game streak. The talented winger's career high is 84 and he should smash that mark in the first or second week in February unless he has a long slump. He is second in points in the NHL and is in the race for the Hart Trophy.

Michael Frolik scored a goal with a pair of assists, a plus-1 rating and three hits over 15:15 of ice time in Friday's 4-3 win against the Florida Panthers.

Frolik, who was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by the Panthers, showed out against his former organization. The 30-year-old has been in and out of the lineup in Calgary, and up and down the lineup when active. Perhaps this performance will get him into a more steady situation with head coach Bill Peters. For now, he is only worth using in deeper fantasy pools.

Mangiapane assisted on Mark Giordano's goal to open the scoring. Mangiapane had gone the previous 18 games with nary a point so it was a relief for the winger to get off the schneid. He has no fantasy value.

Rychel will be in the lineup on Sunday afternoon against the St. Louis Blues. He has 13 goals and 21 points in 25 games for the AHL's Stockton Heat this year. Rychel has three goals and 14 points in 41 career NHL appearances.

James Neal scored a goal and registered an assist in a 6-4 win against Detroit on Friday.

Neal has left plenty to be desired this season with just five goals and 12 points in 47 contests. He's only been held off the scoresheet once in his last four games though, so there's a chance he's turned a corner. Keep an eye on him.

Sam Bennett picked up a pair of power-play goals with an assist in his 11:31 of ice time in Friday's 6-4 home victory against the Red Wings.

Bennett's second power-play marker stood up as the game-winning tally. The game winner was his first of the season, and he has managed nine goals with 19 points overall. He has enjoying his hottest stretch of the season, posting three goals with six points over the past seven outings. While he is still only worth using in the deepest of fantasy pools, he is a nice low-cost DFS option while running hot.

Mark Giordano picked up a power-play goal with two assists in Saturday's 5-2 victory against the Edmonton Oilers.

It was an eventful game for the rearguard. One of his helpers also came on the man advantage, he squeezed off four shots, blocked three others and he spent six minutes in the sin bin. He is on an absolute tear of late, posting five goals with 10 assists in 10 outings in the month of January. He'll face the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday before the Flames take off for the All-Star break, perhaps the only thing that will be able to cool Giordano and his teammates.

Noah Hanifin posted an assist with a plus-2 rating while delivering one hit in Saturday's 5-2 road win against the Edmonton Oilers.

Hanifin has really picked up the pace since the end of December, managing a goal with eight assists and a plus-7 rating across the past 13 outings. After a slow start it appears he is starting to get a little more comfortable in his new surroundings. He is worth scooping up in deeper fantasy pools if you need some offensive assistance along the blue line.

T.J. Brodie picked up an empty-net goal with two assists in Friday's 6-4 victory against the Detroit Red Wings.

Brodie also chipped in with a blocked shot and two minor penalties in his 19:59 of ice time across 29 shifts. He entered the month of January with just three goals and 11 assists through 40 games, but he has picked up the pace with three goals and nine points through his first nine outings in January. He'll try to keep up the good work Saturday in Edmonton.

Travis Hamonic (personal) will return to the Flames' lineup on Friday.

Hamonic missed two games. His eight-month old daughter was rushed to the hospital. "To see your daughter in that circumstance is a nightmare. But the Children's Hospital, the staff, the nurses, and the care that she got at that hospital was second to none," Hamonic said. The hope is that his daughter can return home today.

Stone has been skating for a while now, but isn't practicing with the Flames. There's no timetable for his return and it's not clear when he might take part in a practice either. He last played on Nov. 11.

Juuso Valimaki (ankle) might be ready to return following the All-Star break.

The Flames will play their final game before the break on Jan. 22 and then they won't be back until Feb. 1. Valimaki will be looking to get back into the lineup for the first time since Nov. 23. "The timing might work in his favour, coming out of the bye week," said Flames coach Bill Peters. "He’s been off for 45 days or 50 days and all of a sudden the league is going to take another step back and it takes a while to ramp back up following the bye week. We’re going to have eight or nine days off. It takes a game or two to get back up and running at full speed. It might work in his favour."

Rasmus Andersson has been in the Flames' lineup for 11 straight games.

Andersson didn't initially make the Flames' opening game roster, but was called up quickly because Travis Hamonic was out with a facial fracture. Andersson has been used somewhat sparingly at just 15:55 minutes per contest, but he's nevertheless managed to stay in the lineup thanks in part to the growth that he's showed this season. "Ras has always been able to make plays," said Flames assistant coach Ryan Huska. "But maybe it looked like he was holding on to it too long, at times, when there were options he had that he was losing because he didn’t move the puck quick enough. I think now he’s figured it out and listened to the feedback. He knows when he sees his options, the puck is on the tape." Andersson does have offensive upside, but he's not relevant in standard fantasy leagues yet. He has an assist in 11 games.

Oliver Kylington's second goal of the season was the game-winner Saturday.

The talented blueliner was selected in the second round of the 2015 Draft (60th overall) and was a polarizing player as many scouts saw him as a first round pick while many others saw him as a third rounder. He has two goals and four points in 25 games this season as he tries to establish himself as a solid NHL blueliner. While we cannot recommend him at this time, he has some offensive upside.

Smith has posted a 3-1-0 record in four starts, including a 2-0-0 mark with a 3.52 goals-against average and .896 save percentage in two starts against the Red Wings. He and the Western Conference-leading Flames will head up Alberta Route 2 (OK, they'll probably fly) to battle the provincial rival Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. The Flames are 3-8 in their past 11 against the Oilers, and 0-5 in the past five meetings in Edmonton. David Rittich is likely to be in the crease for that one.

David Rittich allowed just two goals on 24 shots in Saturday's 5-2 road victory against the Edmonton Oilers.

Rittich improved to a gaudy 18-4-4 across his 29 appearances this season, emerging out of nowhere to serve as a bona fide must-start fantasy option across all formats. He and his teammates will be back in action Tuesday night against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes before knocking off for a few days to rest for the All-Star break.
